The “Star Trek” actor was taken to UCLA Medical Center on Thursday for “severe chest pains,” law enforcement sources told TMZ. Nimoy was taken to the hospital after a 911 call was placed on his behalf.

Reports of Nimoy’s medical scare come a year after the 83-year-old star revealed that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

“I quit smoking 30 yrs ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!” he announced in a Jan. 2014 tweet.

Prayers and well-wishes are pouring in:
